Paper Transport Inc (PTI)

Looking for any information on this company. I have found absolutely nothing. Specifically the Jacksonville, FL terminal. TIA!

 

Appreciate the info ftothek. I have been corresponding with another driver out of Cedar Park who is getting decent miles. My Husband has been working out of Jacksonville for about a month but he's not getting any miles. Spent a lot of time researching carriers before he quit his job and PTI seemed to have the majority of our checklist. Just not sure what to do at this point. Wait it out or move on.

Can you tell me what wasn't to your liking and where you went after them?

 

That's a problem he is having as well. Twice he has had some nice runs set up to leave out on Sunday. When he gets to the yard the trailer is gone. Night dispatch says they gave it to another driver. After researching they found where it was originally dispatched to my Husband. Then, of course, there's nothing else. Really thought this company was the one but we can't live off of scrawny pay checks and even no paychecks.

 

He really hasn't had a problem with deliveries YET. Of course, he's only been there 5 weeks and maybe had 6 loads. I agree about night dispatch. They have given his loads away twice. He gets to the yard and the trailer is gone. When he calls dispatch they say the load was supposed to head out by 7 am but his dispatcher said it was due for deliver the next afternoon. Once they researched it night dispatch realized it was already assigned to him and they screwed up. That didn't help because there were no other loads. Which is another issue I have a severe problem with. How can they not have loads. Too many drivers????? I know they had 2 big hiring events and maybe they are waiting for some of these young bucks to decide that driving isn't their cup of tea. But in the mean time a guy with 30+ years experience is sitting at home waiting on freight.

 

Yeah, I have to agree with you. I'm disabled and my co-pays are pretty high some months. THat was why he needed to find a better paying job. Plus it has always been our dream to go over the road together. I had always been the bread winner in the family so I couldn't quit my job. I took 4 years to get to a point that I could be away from my doctors for extended periods of time and then researched carriers for a couple months before deciding on PTI. Man I wish it would work out but can't live on hopes and promises. That just doesn't pay the bills. We're looking at a local company now just to get caught back up then in a year or so try the OTR thing again.
